At RAPID + TCT 2026, HP celebrated its 10th anniversary in additive manufacturing by launching a range of new 3D technologies, including the introduction of the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer Solution. A compact, yet industrial-grade system, the MJF 1200 is designed to “bring industrial MJF technology into every workspace,” offering a smaller, more accessible entry point into polymer 3D printing. According to Alex Moñino, SVP and GM of HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions, the goal is to “bring industrial-grade capabilities closer to where ideas take place” while “lowering cost per part and simplifying workflows.”
The new system boasts a 12-liter build volume and automated processes for unpacking, material mixing, and build preparation, bringing manual intervention to a bare minimum. Early users have already confirmed its practicality: “It delivers industrial-grade parts in a compact format,” said Eric Paris of Anima Design, noting that it enables teams to validate designs “without changing our workflows.” Other reviewers at Anima Design, like Yoel Cruz, emphasized that user feedback shaped the final product, making it “a practical and exciting addition to any engineering space.” In healthcare, Redouane Selmoune, CEO at LualdiLabs, described the system as a step toward “a new model of care” where manufacturing is closer to patient-specific treatment.
Beyond the MJF 1200, HP introduced updates across its portfolio. The HP Jet Fusion 5600 series now features a High Productivity mode, increasing output by 20%, alongside “Dual Tone technology” that enables printing in white and grey for features like QR codes and markings. The HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600 HT is now available in North America, supporting high-temperature materials, while the HP Metal Jet S100 ecosystem expands with new materials and a powder management system developed with Volkmann GmbH.
Taken together, these announcements reflect a broader strategy of making 3D printing more scalable and adaptable, while integrating it across industries.
